It sure looks like a beautiful week ahead of us! If only winter was always that nice.
     Today (Tuesday), we will have narrowed down a 5th grade Horace May representative to move on to the next round of Spelltacular. The representative will move on to the middle school and compete against other students in the district.
     The end of the quarter is Friday, January 27th which is next week. I will do a grade check with the kiddos today so they have an idea what to expect on report cards and what things they need to work on.
     For math this week, we are moving on to Division. We had a math test last Friday that went extremely well! I am so proud to see the hard work pay off.
     In reading, we are working on our book clubs and will finish those up right before the end of the quarter. They are working together very well on this and making great progress. We are plugging away on the skill of sequencing for this week as well.
     I have posted the spelling words on the class website. We will have a test on these words NEXT Friday, January 27th. That means the students have 2 weeks to practice these words. I noticed last week that many students did not study their words and the spelling test results showed. Please encourage your child to practice their works at home.
    In Social Studies, we are learning about the early explorers. So far, we have learned about Marco Polo, Johannes Gutenberg and Christopher Columbus. This is an exciting Chapter as we are learning about what happened so long ago.
     I think that is all for this week. Have a great warm week!
